ModNation Racers Walkthrough #1: Character Creation

Sorry for the Blog radio silence since E3, but ModNation Racers has been keeping us very busy. The good kind of busy, as you will see! During the recent Media Day at United Front Games, we opened up our new Yaletown-district studio in Vancouver to the media, giving them a hands-on preview of the Public Beta – which will be out very soon. Check out some of the feedback from the press: 1UP, G4TV, GameDaily, GameSpot, IGN.

We’re really excited to show all of you what we’ve been working on, and we want your feedback! There’s a lot of new features, game modes and weapons that haven’t been seen before – and much more still to come!

This character creation walkthrough is with our Art Director, Rob Oliveira (aka Robo). He’ll step through some of the basics of creating a Mod, which is just the tip of the iceberg that is character creation in ModNation Racers for PS3. Really, there are so many options!

And next week, Rob dives into some of the deeper features of character creation – like decal layering. Enjoy!

I really think you guys should just upload these videos to YouTube instead of Viddler. Why? Pretty much any video I watch on the net in another player is choppy and pauses every half-second–except YouTube…

Hmmm. This might be a buy for me. It looks great, but LBP was great in how much you could do with it. If you confine it to just a racer, you lose a lot of possibilities. If they do it right, this could be amazing, it’s shaping up to be good, but greatness remains to be seen. :)

SONY SHOULD HAVE USED THIS IN CREATING HOME AVATARS IT MAKES THE CREATING A LOT MORE FUN AND EASY TO USE” I PRAY ONE DAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON THE XMB AND NOT ONLY ON HOME APPLICATION THIS WOULD BRING THE COMMUNITY MORE CLOSER. JUST IMAGE SIGNING IN ONLINE AND SEEING YOUR MATES NEW LOOK OR TO SHOW OFF YOURS.

OMG! The possibilities in this game are endless…yes you can make yourself, yes you can make different creatures, I hope they will be DLC like how LBP does it, and this company signs with big names like Marvel, DC, and even DISNEY! This of brands like COKE, PEPSI, ESPN car stickers. I really hope what I see in this game, the DEVS are seeing in this game! Man oh man, I really can’t wait to try THIS!! Any news other than LBP GOTY Edition we can get the better, is Qore going to give BETA if I am an annual subscriber? Please say YES!!!

er…litlebigplanet GOTY edition isnt available in europe?? so is there any beta giveaways over here (UK), or do we get screwed once again for the americans/canadians??
I would really appreciate a reply…Ta, as we say in blighty…
See

I cannot wait for this game. I haven’t played a good Kart Racer since CTR on the PSone. I’m really looking forward to this, too bad I already have LBP so I can’t get into the beta. Oh well the games looking good, nice job guys.

Will this game have PSP support? Meaning, can you can transfer the game from the PS3 to PSP, either by actually putting the game on your PSP or by Remote Play? This game seems perfect to play on the go.

Hey Ron since I caught that mistake, can you PLEASE GIVE me a BETA code =)? I, like a lot people have the original LBP, and I bought it day one! I REALLY WANT TO TRY THE BETA!!! Any other ways other then buying Little Big Planet Game of the Year Edition to get this BETA>

This has nothing to do with this game. Which by the way looks great can’t wait to get it but I do mist of my playstation blog reading on my iPhone at work n I can never watch the videos u put up n e chance of a choice in video types preferably YouTube?
